You could address Dr. Hamdy as 'Commander'... just kiddin'!

Had you checked with me first, I would have been happy to provide a short primer on the Honors List. It happens twice a year on the Official Birthday... Charlie Boy's actual b-day is Nov 14; and for the New Year... secular that is. If you look at the full list, you'll see where the knighthoods/damehoods and even peerages are bestowed.

Imelda Staunton and Tracy Emin were made Dames (Lady Sirs) this year.

Maybe we can get you on the list in November?

That's actually how it happens... citizens et al make recommendations although I'm not sure to who. The lowest level is MBE (Member of British Empire), then OBE (Order) than CBE (Commander) then knight/damehood.

In the article you write “many with intermediate-risk prostate cancer” that seems a bit optimistic. From what I’ve seen “some” may be a better description. Would love to see more hard facts on that number as it mostly gets addressed as an afterthought.

If you do a survivor conf consider a section on Urologic humor. My collection of stories are all from real people, no cussing, just lots of innuendo about 15 minutes
